The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 58 (Part 1)

On September 1st all the children went to school.

Chen Rou is also about to start getting busy.

Because starting from this month, the village will have the autumn harvest, and the grain from the harvest will basically be transported here.

Uncle Donkey will increase the number of trips from one a day to two. The morning trip carries fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish, meat, eggs, etc., and there is another trip in the afternoon that will deliver a truckload of food.

Now that the four children have gone to school, Chen Rou is naturally the only one who has to take care of the shop.

Fortunately, there was Aunt He. After finishing her work at the bun shop, she came over to the grocery store to help her, so she was able to get by.

In mid-September, Chen Rou's shop entered its busy peak period.

After the newly harvested grain was dried, it was delivered.

Now that production quotas have been assigned to each household, supplies in the countryside are particularly abundant. Uncle Donkey is the one who collects the supplies in the countryside. He remembers clearly who he collected from and how much he collected. When he returns from his business trip, Han Guobin will come back to settle the bill for everyone.

Not a penny will be less for everyone, so the villagers feel very relieved.

Han Guolin went back to his hometown because his father was still farming and had planted a lot, so he had to go back to help harvest the crops.

Song Xiaoyu didn't want to go back, but when she thought that after the grain was harvested, her parents would give her a lot of food to bring back, she went back to cook a meal.

As for Han Si and Han Bo, they stayed behind as they still had to study.

But the two brothers obviously love TV and come here to watch TV every day after school.

Chen Rou was so busy that she didn't get home until after seven o'clock that day. Now, no matter whether it was lunch or dinner, the children would come home from school and prepare it for her.

I was too busy to take care of it, but fortunately the children have grown up and are really useful now.

When Chen Rou came back, she also saw a group of children at home.

"Second Empress." The two brothers Han Si and Han Bo shouted.

"Well, have you eaten them all?" Chen Rou asked.

"I've eaten at Third Aunt's house." Han Si nodded.

"Have you finished your homework?" Chen Rou said.

"It's done. It's written." Han Si said quickly.

His brother also nodded quickly.

Chen Rou didn't say anything, and Han Hang said, "There's still hot water in the kitchen, go take a shower first."

Chen Rou really wanted to take a bath, so she came over to scoop up some water and carried it directly to the backyard.

The bathroom in the backyard is made of bricks and stones. It is not big, but it is enough for bathing. It is not needed in winter because people will go to the bathhouse, which is warmer and more suitable for bathing.

After taking a shower, Chen Rou went back to the room to settle the bill. It was almost eight o'clock when she finished, and the children were still watching TV.

"It's getting late, let's go home and come back tomorrow." Chen Rou said.

"Then I'll come tomorrow." Yaoyao said.

Han Si and Han Bo, the two brothers, actually didn't want to leave and wanted to see more because it was so beautiful. But when they saw that it was getting dark, they had no choice but to follow Yaoyao back.

Chen Bing and other neighbors' children all went back to their homes.

Chen Rou turned off the TV and looked at Han Cheng and Han Qifan, the brother and sister. As for the eldest and the second oldest, they did not come out and were studying in the house.

The new semester has begun, and the two brothers are working very hard.

Especially Han Zhou, he also wants a scholarship. His brother can get a scholarship every semester, so his private treasury is very full. Their mother will only take half of the scholarship as a filial gift, and keep the other half for them.

So he did not slack off at all.

Not to mention Korean Airlines, after entering the first year of high school, the knowledge is more comprehensive and the difficulty is also increased.

In addition, their school has stipulated this year that in addition to the midterm and final exams, a joint examination among all schools has been added. Students who are in the top ten in the grade in both the midterm and final exams will receive a scholarship.

If students can make it into the top ten in the joint entrance examination of each school, their scholarships can be doubled.

This may be another motivation for them.

Han Cheng and her first-grade brother Han Laosi were not under such great pressure. However, Han Cheng still took the English book to read, but Han Laosi didn't want to read it.

Chen Rou asked, "Do you still want the little donkey?"

For the sake of his little donkey, Han Laosi had no choice but to study hard.

This is a person who can't sit still for two minutes as if his butt is pricked by a needle. How can we be unrestrained?

It was almost half past nine, so I made a cup of milk powder for each of them and let them go to bed.

Early the next morning, Chen Rou came to the bun shop. Han Hang and Han Zhou were the first to get up and recite the text and English. No matter it was windy or rainy, Han Hang would never fall behind, because he set a good example, and Han Zhou followed suit.

It was half past six. Han Zhou came to the bun shop to get some buns to eat, while Han Hang heated up the milk that the milkman had brought that morning.

The four brothers and sisters ate buns with milk and then went to school.

Just lock the door at home and don't worry about anything else. The three big dogs are not raised for nothing.

Chen Rou is very busy and doesn't have much free time every day.

At the end of October, most of the grain in the village had been harvested, and Chen's mother was also free, so this day came.

I also brought half a jar of peanut oil.

This is the peanut oil squeezed out from the oil press in Chen Sange's village. It is very fragrant.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "The money earned from Third Brother's oil mill is not enough for what you brought to me, mother."

"His small workshop was only opened because Guobin brought him an oil press from the south. How could he have any objection to me bringing you some peanut oil?" Chen's mother said indifferently.

Chen Rou has always called it the Oil Press Factory. Her third brother really likes this name and thinks it sounds very impressive.

But in fact there were only two oil presses inside, and Chen's mother kept calling it a small workshop.

The two sets of oil presses inside were brought back by Han Guobin from the south for Brother Chen San. They are very easy to use and have a higher oil yield than usual.

So her third brother is now an oil producer, mainly producing peanut oil, and he often goes out to buy peanuts.

Before Han Guobin left on this trip, his third brother came to find him and wanted to add two more oil presses.

If two more oil presses are added, Chen Rou's shop will be able to supply more peanut oil in the future.

Now, because there are only two units, the peanut oil sold by Chen Rou would be out of stock from time to time.

After all, that peanut oil is pure peanut oil. Even if it is a little expensive, everyone is very eager for it.

Last time I brought three large tanks, each half filled, for fear that the oil would overflow on the road if it was fully filled, so now we use these large tanks to store oil.

Aunt He bought it all herself, keeping half for herself, giving half to her nephew Zhou Chuan, and dividing the rest equally among her daughters.

After using it, I have nothing bad to say.

But there aren’t many, and they’re often out of stock.

But after this autumn harvest, peanut oil and soybean oil will definitely be in sufficient supply in the future. After all, it is the end of the year, and they will be particularly popular then.

Of course, her third brother was already planning to expand his business outwards, collecting peanuts and soybeans in all directions.

"How was the harvest for my elder brother and second brother this year?" Chen Rou asked as she washed a tomato for her mother.

"They are all pretty good." Mother Chen said, and then sarcastically said, "Your eldest and second sisters-in-law are jealous of your third brother's small workshop and want to get involved."

"Didn't the third brother ask them earlier, asking them to each contribute some money and jointly buy an oil press, and then split the profits equally? Didn't the eldest and second brothers refuse?" Chen Rou said.

"They refused to pay, but now that they see the small workshop is getting better and better, they want it," said Chen's mother.

"What does Third Brother say?" Chen Rou asked.

"Your third brother would never indulge them. He just refused directly." said Chen's mother.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "Just refuse."

"Your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law don't look very happy." said Chen's mother.

"We've separated and each family is living their own life. So what if they're unhappy?" Chen Rou said indifferently.

Mother Chen smiled and said, "You are becoming more and more insightful."

"Mom, I'm almost forty." Chen Rou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was already in her thirties, what was there for her to be upset about?

If relatives can sit down and have a good talk, then they can sit down and have a good talk. If not, then she won't stay any longer. This is life. Why force it?

And they all have selfish motives. It's normal for her sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to have such thoughts. There's nothing to be upset about.

Chen's mother said, "She is almost 40, but she is being raised by Guobin, so she still looks young to me."

I don’t know how much money is spent on food and face every month. The youngest daughter is already 38 years old, but looking at her face, she looks like she is less than 30 years old.

The older wives in the village who do farm work and are in their twenties and twenties all look older than her and don't look as young as she does.

"I didn't ask Guobin to support me. My two shops are enough to support myself." Chen Rou corrected.

"Okay, okay, you are the most capable, okay?" said Chen's mother.

"Thank you for the compliment, mother. I will accept it." Chen Rou said with a smile.
